But that would only work if everyone switched to
writing str.lower(s) everywhere instead of s.lower(),
etc. In other words, abolish method call notation
completely and use generic function calls instead.
I would say that *is* a radical proposal...

And it still wouldn't help SMTP.sendmail to tell
whether it was dealing with a string or a list
of strings.
